Just wondering what your fuel upload was. I guess I could work it out by subtracting Takeoff Weight to Landing weight, but if you have the actual number - also fuel remaining (or planned to be remaining).


Sounds like a great trip... I'll have to make sure i'm in Sydney to come up to the spotting weekend dinner to hear about it now

Trent, I don't have the fuel analysis for the flight over there unfortunately.

On the way back, however, legal minop was 156.1 tonnes, however we uplifted 171.3 tonnes to cover a PROB30 INTER (then TEMPO) TSRA which came up after the flight plan had been produced, and to allow us to fly a little faster than planned to cover the slight delay out of EZE. Cost to carry additional uplifted fuel on this sector was 373 kg per 1000 kg additional.

The forecast TSRA didn't materialise for our arrival into SYD, and we landed with 20.0 tonnes remaining.

*PROB30 INTER TSRA = 30% Probability of Thunderstorms with Rain, for intermittent periods up to 30mins
TEMPO = 60 mins
